About the host
Hosted by Lorene D'Orazio
Thank you for considering the Barton Street Bungalow for your vacation home. We are the Lenga family; Bill, Lorene, Marisa. We live in the Lincoln Park neighborhood in the City of Chicago and have been visiting the Harbor Country area since we were young kids. As a young couple we rented homes in nearly every beachside community stretching from Sheridan Beach, Indiana to Lakeside, Michigan. Finally, we purchased our cottage in Union Pier nearly 26 years ago, shortly after our daughter Marisa was born. Today, Marisa is married, graduated from Loyola Medical school and is a Resident for Dermatology. As we enter into our retirement years , we find ourselves spending most weekends and nearly all summer in Harbor County. We truly love the simple joys that our home in Union Pier has brought to our lives. The time we spend here is focused on family, friends and neighbors all here in a common bond of enjoying the magnificent natural beauty of the area; the intimacy of the small town feel; the personal touch experienced at the local merchants; the bounty of the orchards, vineyards and veggies and the pleasures of the local dining, wineries, breweries and distilleries.
We have a keen interest in architecture, design and horticulture. That said, we love old houses and particularly craftsman style bungalows. The Barton Street Bungalow is the second renovation of an Arts and Crafts style house we have undertaken in the area with the first being our cottage in Union Pier. Here we made improvements to the home, worked with a local craftsman to design and build most of the furniture and finally, we designed the landscape planting over 260 trees and shrubs and several hundred perennials in our gardens. Last, we designed and built all of the hardscape including the Summer House and decks that were built around one of three of our nearly 100 year old maple trees that are the center piece of the landscape. We hope you find our efforts are worthy of your stay.

Why they chose this property
The home’s location and charm is what sold us on this old house. Although it is only a quick seventy-five mile car or train ride from the city, New Buffalo and all of Harbor Country acts as the perfect get-away from hectic city life and provides the ideal location for rest, relaxation, and, most importantly, quality family time. With all of the activities like bike riding through the farm country, kayaking down the Galien River, or relaxing by the gorgeous Lake Michigan waters, New Buffalo is the perfect place to create lasting memories for years to come.
What makes this property unique
Within the heart of New Buffalo, the Barton Street bungalow is the perfect “home away from home.” The lovely interior and exterior rooms and landscape, provides a resort like feel to this charmed arts and crafts style cottage. The bungalow is walking distance to all amenities and attractions, such as the grocery store, local shops, and restaurants. A short three-block walk brings guests to the harbor and public beach access. Additionally, the bungalow has a large yard space and outdoor area that is perfect for children to play and adults to entertain large groups. Whether it be a romantic getaway or a family reunion, the Barton Street Bungalow is the ideal place to create amazing memories to last a life time!
